Release Management Playbook

Purpose

To eliminate deployment anxiety through predictable, automated, and safe release cycles.

Deployment Strategies

• Rolling: One for one replacement.
• Blue-Green: Full stack swap.
• Canary: Deploy to 5% of users first.

Checklist

1. Pre-flight: Tests passed, build verified, changelog updated.
2. Deployment: CI/CD automation execution.
3. Validation: Smoke tests, error monitoring (Sentry), performance check.
4. Rollback: Emergency path if validation fails.

Rules

• No Friday deployments unless critical fix.
• Full automation: No manual steps allowed.
